I came here as part of a tour, which I would recommend since it really helps understand what you are seeing. There ruins aren't as in tact as say the colosseum, so you do have to use your imagination a bit. However, still a very interesting place to visit.

We really enjoyed this. The site is actually huge and you could easily spend a whole day in here. It was a nice walk some exposed areas in the sun and then other parts in the shade. Take plenty of water with you! If you buy a ticket to the colosseum this is included in your entry price and you can go two days after visiting the colosseum. We arrived at 5 and rushed round it as they close pretty sharpish. Great opportunity for some photos of the city ! Nowhere to buy food or drink once your inside from what I saw though!

We visited here straight after our visit to the colosseum. The site is much bigger than it looks from the outside. Make sure you pick up a drink and snacks before you head in though as there's wasn't anything available inside. There's actually a lot to see but you don't get a map when entering so hard to know the layout or what's what! We took in the main sites and were still in there for about 2 hours. Well worth a look and the route we took brings you out at the bottom near Piazza venezio. Be aware of the men trying to sell African bracelets as you exit though as they can be a bit relentless!

My wife and I visited Palatine Hill as part of a combination ticket with the Forum and the Colosseum. We had a guide or otherwise the tour would have been meaningless to us. As Bob Dylan said, “the streets of Rome are filled with rubble, ancient footprints are everywhere.”

Fortunately, we booked tickets in advance and didn’t have to queue. Nice walk, a lot of thing to see. It is connected to Roman forum. As it is quite large with cobblestone and ups and downs I would not recommend it for people with strollers, small children and elderly. It can take couple of hours to go through everything. Entrance on the side of the Roman forum was soooo crowded, around 12pm. Literally hundreds of people queueing. Some places get very crowded.

Interesting to see these structures still exist after all of this time? We went with our tour guide after seeing the Colosseum and walked through the ruins! Interesting so see how the Romans built everything in the city? Worth a look at taking in the sites.

Your colleseum tickets will include entrances to Palatine and Roman Forum. Very nice place to walk all the way up to Palatine Hill for birds eye view of the entire place. In Nov, it closes at 3pm, so be sure to go early after your Colleseum visit.

Incredible and fascinating! It is truly awe inspiring to walk through and imagine what it was like to have built and lived in these incredible building (now ruins). Palatine Hill is big so I would recommend spending close to half a day there and perhaps getting a tour as we would have benefited from this to help with a bit more context and history.

Long considered as a symbol of Rome's foundation and glory, Palatine Hill stood proudly as the most renowned of Rome's 7 storied hills where upper class citizens built their opulent palaces during the Ancient Rome civilization period. Its historical and mythological significance is unparalleled - it was reputed to shelter the Lupercal, the sacred cave where the she-wolf is said to have nurtured Rome's legendary founders, Romulus and Remus, and it was the birthplace of the first Roman Emperor, Augustus. The Palatine Hill is an integral part of the triad of ancient sites that includes the adjacent Colosseum and Roman Forum whereby a single ticket grants access to all three historic sites. On Palatine Hill, you can see hundreds of ruins of imposing temples and palaces constructed for ancient Roman's high society, with the most notable being the Domus Flavia, House of Augustus, Farnese Gardens and Hippodrome of Domitian. There's even a museum displaying artifacts unearthed from the site. Together with the connecting Roman Forum, you would need at least half a day to cover the entire sprawling imperial ruins. Traversing the paths of Palatine Hill is to walk in the footsteps of the Romans through the centuries and unearthing the layers of time to appreciate its fascinating history.

As I made my way up Palatine Hill, I was immediately taken aback by the stunning views of the Roman Forum and Circus Maximus below. One of the highlights of my experience on Palatine Hill was wandering through the lush gardens and terraces that overlook the city. The peaceful atmosphere and scenic vistas made for a truly unforgettable moment of reflection and appreciation for Rome's enduring legacy...
